They'd have been even more perplexed if you'd scuttled in and said you needed a bath or a rest.Ha ha this reminded me of a funny story when I was on shore leave in Tampa Florida. Wandering around a large store I needed to go to the toilet. Every employee I asked where it was looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. Frowned faces and repeating back to me, "Toilet?? Toilet??" Finally in exasperation I had to mimic the act of having a pee. The penny finally dropped as they said, "Ahh you mean the bathroom!!" No I meant the fucking toilet lol. They also use the term restroom too.

One uses the toilet whilst in the bathroom, you may also wash your hands in the sink that's in the bathroomHa ha this reminded me of a funny story when I was on shore leave in Tampa Florida.

So North Americans may direct you to the kitchen (or any other daft name they use) as there's a sink in it, thinking that's what you need....hopefully he'd have pissed in the sink if that was the case? Maybe it was lucky he used the Queens (or King's now?) English, and got to the point ;)One uses the toilet whilst in the bathroom, you may also wash your hands in the sink that's in the bathroom

Ha! We only used the term bathroom if we were going for a bath or a shower. That's because for lots of houses here the bathroom used to be separate from the toilet. Growing up in Hulme of course we had no bathroom it was a tin bath in front of the fire. The toilet was outside in the backyard.

When did Warner Brothers become Warner Bros? And when did the Super Mario Brothers become The Mario Bros?
I will stick to calling them Brothers as Bros really winds me up.
